In the cryptography world, we consider open source necessary for good security; we have for decades.  Public security is always more secure than proprietary security. It's true for cryptographic algorithms, security protocols, and security source code.  For us, open source isn't just a business model; it's smart engineering practice.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DBC44D08-2F2E-4347-89CB-D1CDBD6A99CC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
